Prepare to switch

2. Prepare to switch

Regardless of whether the nbn™ broadband access network is available in your area, there are things you can do to prepare for the switch. This will ensure that your move will be as seamless as possible – it will also mean and that you can enjoy the benefits faster.

Your existing services may be affected

The rollout of the nbn™ broadband access network will involve new technologies and some existing devices and services may not be compatible with these at all times.

If you have any of the following devices or services, contact your provider or register with us so that we can support you to help minimise a break in services.

Other things to consider

In some instances, switching may not be so straight forward. This includes new developments, granny flats, out-buildings and complex installations - particularly those that require trenching or additional cabling.

*nbn is a provider of wholesale speeds to internet service providers. Your experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn™ network, depends on the technology over which services are delivered to your premises and some factors outside our control (like your equipment quality and software). Satellite customers may experience latency. nbn™ wholesale speed tiers available to your internet service provider vary depending on the access technology in your area.
